Donkey Kong Country 2 and Open Bus

Donkey Kong Country 2 has a pretty well-known bug in the old SNES emulator ZSNES where some stages have spinning barrels that don’t work properly. One of the earliest pictured here, in the first stage of Krem Quay (third world): After you jump into the barrel, you’re supposed to be able to completely control its rotation by pressing left and right on the d-pad, with the barrel only rotating while you’re holding left or right. In ZSNES, this is horribly bugged. Tapping left or right makes the ba

BLUETTI Portable Power Station With Solar Panel Is Now Cheaper Than Black Friday and Last Prime Day

I Took Photoshop's Generative AI for a Spin. These Are the Tools That Stuck Out

Photoshop is all in on generative AI, and it wants you to give it a whirl, too. Adobe has added a number of AI features to its premiere photo editor over the past few years; if you use Photoshop regularly, you've probably seen these pop up on your task bars. I spend a lot of time reviewing AI image generators and other AI creative software, so I had to put the original photo editor's AI to the test. AI might not be right for every project, especially for professional creators who regularly use

Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that could determine whether Internet service providers must terminate users who are accused of copyright infringement. In a list of orders released today, the court granted a petition filed by cable company Cox. The ISP, which was sued by Sony Music Entertainment, is trying to overturn a ruling that it is liable for copyright infringement because it failed to terminate users accused of piracy. Music companies want ISPs to disconnect users whose IP ad

Google Calendar now has an Apple Watch app

Apple’s native calendar app on watchOS includes customization options that let you see alternate views, like a week summary and a full month. But the Google Calendar app only shows a week’s worth of events on your Apple Watch with their time and location, as well as Google Tasks in a simple list view showing the day of the week in the upper corne

Initial extensions for Maps, Calendar, Keep, and Tasks are slowly starting to hit users. Beyond these, we’ve uncovered a large list of Live extensions that appear to be in development.

Skipping F1 movie in theaters? Why you shouldn’t wait for Apple TV+ release

F1 The Movie is turning out to be the hit Apple was hoping for. Early box office results show it’s the company’s biggest theatrical success by far. But while plenty of people might be waiting for it to hit Apple TV+, here’s why F1 The Movie is uniquely worth seeing in theaters. F1 offers unique theatrical experience that Apple TV+ can’t match Apple is the iPhone company, a device that—for better or worse—movies and TV shows are commonly viewed on today.

Switzerland says government data stolen in ransomware attack

The government in Switzerland is informing that sensitive information from various federal offices has been impacted by a ransomware attack at the third-party organization Radix. The hackers have stolen data from Radix systems and later leaked it on the dark web, the Swiss government says. The exposed data is being analyzed with the help of the country’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) to determine which government agencies are impacted and to what effect. “The foundation Radix has been

Data Centers, Temperature, and Power

It’s easy to open a data center, right? All you have to do is connect a bunch of hard drives to power and the internet, find a building, and you’re off to the races. Well, not exactly. Building and using one Storage Pod is quite a bit different than managing exabytes of data. As the world has grown more connected, the demand for data centers has grown—and then along comes artificial intelligence (AI), with processing and storage demands that amp up the need even more. That, of course, has real

Take a Trip to Bob’s Void in This Exclusive ‘Thunderbolts’ Clip

But, in this new clip from the upcoming home release of Thunderbolts, you’ll realize it’s also a place to really push the boundaries of filmmaking. Thunderbolts, or The New Avengers if you’d like, is the latest film from Marvel Studios, for a few more weeks at least. It stars Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, and Wyatt Russell as the latest, but probably not greatest, su

We Found the Best Facial Sunscreens of 2025 After Testing 87 Products

As Rimtepathip mentioned, the best sunscreen is one that you will actually use and reapply. "There are still keywords to look for depending on a person’s skin type," she adds. "If a person’s skin is dry, look for sunscreens that have moisturizing ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid. For oily skin, look for the words 'oil-free' or 'noncomedogenic.' These sunscreens are less likely to clog pores and cause outbreaks. Mineral sunscreens are less irritating to people with sensitive skin. They should

Cursor launches a web app to manage AI coding agents

The launch marks Cursor’s next big step beyond its integrated development environment (IDE), the core product developers use to access its tools. While Anysphere, the company behind Cursor, initially offered only this AI-powered IDE, the company has made a concerted effort to put its products in more places, and develop more agen

Hate the leaked Nothing Phone 3 design? These new leaks are bad news for you

TL;DR New leaked images add weight to the previously leaked renders of the Nothing Headphone 1 and Nothing Phone 3. In these leaked images, the Nothing Headphone 1 appears once again with its retro-futuristic cassette-inspired look. Meanwhile, the images for the Nothing Phone 3 indicate we might have to make our peace with the asymmetric and misaligned rear camera setup and the busy back panel. Nothing is set to launch the Nothing Phone 3 and the Nothing Headphone 1 tomorrow, July 1. Ahead of

Hikvision Canada ordered to cease operations over security risks

The Canadian government has ordered Hikvision’s subsidiary in the country to cease all operations following a review that determined them to pose a national security risk. The order was forwarded to Hikvision last Friday, and the matter was made public over the weekend by Mélanie Joly, Canada's Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry. “Following a National Security Review under the Investment Canada Act, the Government of Canada has ordered Hikvision Canada Inc. to cease all operations in

AI has 2 billion users, but only 3% pay

Weiquan Lin/Getty Artificial intelligence (AI) has reached a tipping point. People have adopted AI at an unprecedented scale, with almost two billion users worldwide, according to an estimate by the US venture capital firm Menlo Ventures. Also: ChatGPT was downloaded 30 million times last month - but its user base data is more shocking And yet, very little money is being made, perhaps only $12 billion annually, with most of that figure accounted for by OpenAI.

Want to stand out in IT job interviews? 10 ways a home lab can help

marchmeena29 / Getty Images When I was a kid, my home lab consisted of test tubes and beakers, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), acetic acid (vinegar), and the occasional boom, followed closely by the sound of my mom in the distance yelling, "David Allen Gewirtz, you stop that right now." When the scold transitioned from "David Gewirtz" to "David Allen Gewirtz," I knew I was in trouble. To be fair, nothing prepared my nontechnical mom and dad to raise a future engineer. I was forever taking th

Printegrated Circuits: Merging 3D Printing and Electronics

Just as the laser printer delivered the benefits of a printing press to personal computer users more than 40 years ago, 3D printers have made it possible for individuals to turn digital designs into physical objects. Some printers cost less than US $1,000, and they can be used to create one-off objects or low-volume production of items. 3D printed objects have one major limitation; it’s not easy to make them “smart.” Adding digital processors and other components remains a challenge, as does ad

The second launch of New Glenn will aim for Mars

Blue Origin is making steady progress toward the second launch of its New Glenn rocket, which could occur sometime this fall. The company already ignited the second stage of this rocket, in a pre-launch test, in April. And two sources say the first stage for this launch is in the final stages of preparation at the company's facilities in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Publicly, the company has said this second launch will take place no earlier than August 15. This is now off the table. One source to
